Today after PE we worked on signing "O Canada" for our remembrance day assembly. Please practice over the weekend.
We had our first awards assembly this morning.
If you are still having difficulty multiplying decimals, please check out the videos under section 2.2 under our math link.
Remember to practice "O Canada" in sign language.
PM Math/Science:
Today in science we learned about environmental monitoring and sampling. We didn't have time to watch the Unit 1, section 3.1 videos. Please watch the videos tonight and read the powerpoint link on sampling.
In Math today we investigated multiplying decimal numbers. Amy gave us a little "short cut"to find out how many decimal places we need in our product (answer). We also used estimation to verify the number of decimal places in our answer.
If you are still having difficulty with this concept, please consider joining Mrs. Kidd at lunch or after school for extra math help! Today's math help group received a lot of extra practice! Good work!
**If you were away the last two days due to outdoor ed, make sure you understand how to multiply decimal numbers (this should be review from last year...see me tomorrow for help if you have forgotten how to do it!) and please print off the 3.1-3.3 science sheets. You only need to complete 3.1 tonight.

Today we had a joint PE/Health class with Mr. Grainger's LA class. We learned about respect, learning, relationship, and responsibility.
In Science today we updated our observations on our Decomposition Experiment. Surprisingly, the bread that was rubbed on the toilet and microwave were decomposing the slowest!!! THE SLOWEST!!!!!
In Science we also continued to learn about the water cycle and carbon cycles. We worked on our Cycles in the Environment sheet in section 2.4. This sheet is homework if you did not complete it in class (the addition of colour is optional).
The RUGBY CUP tournament has begun in PE. Please eat healthy food and get lots of rest!!!

On the last page where you make up your own word problem and then try a friend's you can write one for your parents to do and have them write one for you to try.
In Science we had a preview and discussion on the water cycle and carbon cycle. We had an imaginary journey through time, thinking about all of the places a single water molecule has been. Please visit our Unit 1, section 2.4 under our science link to preview websites and videos for our work tomorrow. Next day we will be working on our Cycles in the Environment sheet.

This morning in science we did our third week of observation for our decomposer experiment. Please complete the conclusion for your homework tonight.
Today we completed our schoolyard ecosystem scavenger hunt with the grade 6/7 class. We worked in groups, helping each other with multiplying decimals.
Unit 1 Interactions and Ecosystems - section 2 and 3 science quiz coming up on Tuesday, Oct 16.
Unit 2 Decimal Operations Math test coming up on Thursday, Oct 18.
Please keep practicing "O Canada" in sign english exact.

Today after PE we worked on signing "O Canada" for our remembrance day assembly. Please practice over the weekend.
We had our first awards assembly this morning.
If you are still having difficulty multiplying decimals, please check out the videos under section 2.2 under our math link.
Remember to practice "O Canada" in sign language.
PM Math/Science:
Today in science we learned about environmental monitoring and sampling. We didn't have time to watch the Unit 1, section 3.1 videos. Please watch the videos tonight and read the powerpoint link on sampling.In Math today we investigated multiplying decimal numbers. Amy gave us a little "short cut"to find out how many decimal places we need in our product (answer). We also used estimation to verify the number of decimal places in our answer.
If you are still having difficulty with this concept, please consider joining Mrs. Kidd at lunch or after school for extra math help! Today's math help group received a lot of extra practice! Good work!
**If you were away the last two days due to outdoor ed, make sure you understand how to multiply decimal numbers (this should be review from last year...see me tomorrow for help if you have forgotten how to do it!) and please print off the 3.1-3.3 science sheets. You only need to complete 3.1 tonight.

Community Discussion invitation came home yesterday. Tickets for chili (to eat) are for sale for $5, with the funds going to support the Red Deer and District Food Bank (for either the 5:30 pm sitting or the 7 pm sitting). It will take place on Tuesday, Oct 9, 2012 from 5:30-8 pm at the Unity Baptist Church.Also home yesterday was a cookie dough fundraiser from the Parent Council. They are offering a free Pizza Party for the class with the most sales. Orders must be in by Oct 17. Please call Joanne Hudson at 403-596-3611 if you have any questions.
Today we had a Science Assessment for Learning and Discussion about the Food Pyramid. We discussed the role of humans in food chains, food webs and food pyramids. We also discussed the role of disease. We practice a quiz, simulation and we built a food web online and then we got to role play by playing "Predator and Prey".
Please make sure your binders are organized. There is no math or science homework tonight.

Today we had a joint PE/Health class with Mr. Grainger's LA class. We learned about respect, learning, relationship, and responsibility.
In Science today we updated our observations on our Decomposition Experiment. Surprisingly, the bread that was rubbed on the toilet and microwave were decomposing the slowest!!! THE SLOWEST!!!!!
In Science we also continued to learn about the water cycle and carbon cycles. We worked on our Cycles in the Environment sheet in section 2.4. This sheet is homework if you did not complete it in class (the addition of colour is optional).
The RUGBY CUP tournament has begun in PE. Please eat healthy food and get lots of rest!!!

In Math today we worked in small groups on word problems 2.1 adding and subtracting decimals practice (see Unit 2 under the math link). If you did not complete this sheet it is for homework. On the last page where you make up your own word problem and then try a friend's you can write one for your parents to do and have them write one for you to try.
In Science we had a preview and discussion on the water cycle and carbon cycle. We had an imaginary journey through time, thinking about all of the places a single water molecule has been. Please visit our Unit 1, section 2.4 under our science link to preview websites and videos for our work tomorrow. Next day we will be working on our Cycles in the Environment sheet.
